Updating geolocation on assets using Python SDK

Hi.

Is it possible to update the geolocatoin of assets using the Python SDK?

It seems I’m able to update the asset with a geolocation that renders the SDK unable to interact further with the asset. Example below:

 

## Create a new asset with geolocation

dsid = <data set id>

from cognite.client.data_classes import GeoLocation, Asset, Geometry

geometry1 = Geometry(
    type="Point", coordinates=[9.6573149,59.142253]
    )
asset = Asset(
    name="geotest", 
    data_set_id=dsid,
    geo_location=GeoLocation(
        type="Feature", 
        geometry=geometry1
    )
)
res = client.assets.create(asset)



## List all assets matching the name .. it works well

client.assets.list(name="geotest") 



## Update the geolocation, returns KeyError: 'type'

geometry2 = Geometry(
    type="Point", coordinates=[8.6573149,57.142253]
    )
res.geo_location = geometry2
res2 = client.assets.update([res])



## Now try to list the assets again. It fails, returning KeyError: 'type'

client.assets.list(name="geotest")

    I have tried updating geolocation on assets in Python SDK. I have used following sysntax and it worked for me. Could you please try the same and let me know?

    Code:

    geometry_two  = Geometry(type="Point",coordinates=[8.6573149,59.142253])


    my_update = AssetUpdate(id=2672701736309715).geo_location.set(GeoLocation(type="Feature",geometry=geometry_two))
    result=client.assets.update(my_update)
    print(result)

    After made this update I am able to list my assets:
